Here's the link to the latest version of Noesis.

Knowing what it can do I'm going to work with it for all the heavy lifting of the animations stuff.
It's also an all around good viewer/converter and I used it to break the SWTOR meshes and did some work on PT Boats meshes.
(SHHH!!!)
I'll add a download to several test files soon. Those will allow you to see all the nonsense stuff I talk about.
I'm currently working on a python script for Noesis to read the Secondary.dat directly as it is.
